Enable Kerberos

You can use Ambari to
enable Kerberos for your Hortonworks Cybersecurity Platform (HCP) environment.

Checklist: Installing and Configuring the KDCAmbari is able to configure Kerberos in the cluster to work with an existing MIT KDC, or existing Active Directory installation. This section describes the steps necessary to prepare for this integration.

Install the JCE for KerberosBefore enabling Kerberos in the cluster, you must deploy the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) security policy files on the Ambari Server and on all hosts in the cluster, including the Ambari Server. If you are using OpenJDK, some distributions of the OpenJDK (such as RHEL/CentOS and Ubuntu) come with unlimited strength JCE automatically and therefore, installation of JCE is not required.
